Honjozo 🍶
Here is the third cup of Aji no Fue.
It's a bit spicy and crisp. Dry and crisp. It has a sense of maturity. Mint ☘️ has a solid taste, my wife says it doesn't taste nasty😅Suucculent with ume jellyfish. Yamagata log shiitake mushrooms🍄🟫 are very tasty and deep.
Ajino Fue @ Okachimachi 20241013
I was under the impression that it would be a little lighter, but maybe it was because I let it sit for a while? It has a solid feel to it.
It is a bit heavy, but it is very refreshing at room temperature and warmed up.
I was expecting a light sweet sake,
I was expecting a light sweet sake, but the fact that it was priced in the 1,300 yen range (tax included) made it a bargain. I have not been able to find a place where I can buy it, but I will buy it again the next time I come across it!

Masamune hunters go today🍶.
I can't help looking for Masamune even in Ponshukan... I must be cursed😅
Found ayu (sweetfish) 💡 drink it when you can 😆.
I feel sweetness and umami. I think the umami is stronger 🤔.
It is thick and has a heavy feeling with a throat that you can feel the sake when you swallow it.
The more you taste it, the more umami it tastes 🤗.
I took a picture of the bottle as it was lined up at the store 📸.
Nice Masamune👍
Good evening, Pon-chan😄
I'm always aware of nice Masamune👍 anytime, anywhere🤣I'm still on the hunt for Masamune👍.
The Niigata series will continue and I hope you enjoy it 🤗
These days, Niigata sake is not always light and dry.
It has the firmness of a pure sake with a freshness.
The sweet aroma that is so popular these days is not strong, but it is never harsh.
Local liquor recommended to me at a ski store in Myoko.
Alternately sweet and spicy, very pungent taste. Some woody aroma, some clear and natural spring water taste. I have heard that sweetfish like clean water, and the taste of clean water with such an atmosphere
Izakaya Monorail Niigata Sake 2️⃣
The Niigata Sake we had this time was all made from Gohyakumangoku 😀.
It is indeed a sake from a cold region of Japan 😀.
I knew the name of Ayu Masamune before, but I had passed it by thinking it was Niigata's dry sake, but I was surprised when I drank it for the first time this time ‼️🤣.
It was a delicious sake with a good balance of sweetness, sourness and bitterness.
Preconceptions and assumptions are not good 😅.
My wife chose this sake!
I heard it's the best recommendation of the owner of the restaurant 😀.
It's a dark nigori (a dark sake) but not too sweet, and it's okay to drink it with food ❔.

Jay & Nobby.
Yes, I went through 300 check-ins without realizing it. I was just thinking about it 🤭.
Actually, I was trying to figure out which drink to use to get to the 300 check-in.
I'll let you know about that drink...
